Just came across a post from Carl Worth in planet gnome that I believe is related (http://cworth.org/intel/driver_stability/). He explains that the intel driver had gone through a major restructuring wich caused some regressions. This regressions were addressed mainly in the kernel, and the fixes are available only in 2.6.30.
He also mentions that there are people in Ubuntu working on it and there are newer versions of the intel driver and a package for 2.6.30 (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers). -- [i965] graphical glitches with Blender/OpenGL unless DRI disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
